so sorry to hear you are going thru traditional rv dealers. the dealer experience sucks its like buying a new car what i love about most fiberglass molded companies is that you are dealing directly with manufacturer in my experience is so pleasant this price hike granted has some to do with changes but mainly the middle man dealer thus prices will be all over the place whereas traditionally price is the price i was very interested in parkliner but now have done a turn about based on this

I, on the other hand, am thrilled to be able to go to a dealer here in Florida, see some 16's without having to drive all the way up north through terrible traffic and bad drivers, and custom order exactly what I want, if need be. Or buy one off the lot. But I do have empathy for all those who hate the idea of having to deal with a salesperson who only wants to sell you something and knows little to nothing about the product. So I hope Parkliner makes these dealers attend workshops and learn all about their trailers.

thanks for the reply. i was turned off when i tried to go thru dealer after recent show. i am now considering the egg camper or oliver

I wanted an Eggcamper too but due to health reasons there hasn't been any made for a couple years nor any plans to. I am also working with Oliver and considering spending even more major bucks than the Parkliner.

That's overkill! The engineers have already built in a safety factor in the towing capacity. Just because it is a truck does not make it have more tow capacity.
It it says you can tow 3500 lb you can.

I respectfully disagree Wayne. We want to tour the Rockies when we retire and I refuse to be under-powered doing it. Our Parkliner puts enough strain on our Ford Escape with the 3500# tow package. I speak from experience.

I have no experience other than towing Uhaul trailers with my Jeep Renegade. When looking for a tow vehicle for a trailer I do not own yet, nor even know what manufacturer, I insisted the vehicle I purchase have at minimum a 6500 lb tow rating and also be a 4x4. Salesmen continually attempted to tell me that 5000 was plenty for the type of trailer I wanted and a 4x4 was not necessary. I held my ground and now am the owner of a Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4 with a tow package rated at 6500. Today I had installed a brake controller which I also insisted on. We plan on traveling all over the continent and therefore will be crossing mountains regularly. We may never need the 4x4 but we have it if we need it. And the last thing I wanted was to excessively labor up a mountain and be scared out of my wits coming down because I could not control the trailer braking system. Non-negotiable. So I say stick to your guns. I am with you.
